office=accountant office=solicitor office=secretarial services office=insurance I do find that some period of experimental tagging helps me sort out what categories are going to be useful. I'm not capable of putting together a fully-fledged proposal for every sort of office I'm likely to find from the start. I can see that office=government has use - we have a building called "State Government Offices" where several government departments have a local office. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
